What psi should I be using??

I am a big bloke (130kg) and have just brought some Schwalbe City Jets to put on my MTB for commuting to work which I am hoping will help me loose some much needed weight.
The only issue I am struggling to work out is what pressure should I be running my tyres at? It's the first time I will be using slicks so don't want to get it wrong and end up killing myself just yet

It all depends.
See what it says is the max and add air."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

For road use then as much as the tyre will take is where I set mine (85Kg), usually about 80psi for a 26x1.5", my daughter ran 60 in her SCJ's but then she is about 55Kg.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

I have just put my schwalbe city jets on which I found easy enough since it's the first time I have changed a tyre. The only issue is I have noticed that the rotation symbol is facing the incorrect way (pointing to back of bike rather than front). Is this an issue? Do I need to change them around?0
